Thank you for your email of 24 December 2008 regarding Mountain Biking in Brisbane and your position on this matter.
I am pleased to advise that in late January 2009, Council will be opening an on-line survey seeking public input on the topic of Mountain Biking in Brisbane. This survey, which will be open until late March 2009, will then shape Council’s revised policy on this subject.
All stakeholder groups and members of the broader community will be advised of this survey through direct mail and media announcements. I would encourage you to participate in this wide ranging review. In anticipation of the review, I have already passed your letter to the appropriate Council officers for their consideration.
This consultation process will be an important part of our decision making and I encourage you to provide input into the review.
Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your concerns. I can assure you that my administration is committed to working with the community to provide facilities appropriate to all residents in Brisbane.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and safe Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Yours sincerely
Campbell Newman

Apparently he is waiting for information to approach the State Forest/State Government about their plans for the track. He is on holidays at the moment and hasnt been in the office for a couple of weeks. The track goes through State Forest land as well as (dont know the offical name) but the people who own the damn you can see up the shuttle road also have land that the track goes through. So it may take a while as both these parties need to be approached.Rider15 can we please have an update on the status of your dads progress with Clear Mountain?
Apparently some of the State Forests are being turned into National Parks and this is a State Government thing. It wasnt just because there was a track there.Would he have any information as to why Dayboro was closed down or turned into a National Park?
Write to the council or your local member I guess.What can we as a community do to speed up the process of progress at Clear Mountain?
Who are these people exactly?Had a guy pull up and talk to my mum whilst she was shuttling us yesterday..
He was asking us about a feasablitly study on DH tracks in SE QLD, as there are none, they want to know if its worth is getting some legalised...
Hes going to ring me
Digging where?Daybora shut down? Oh god I have to get out and Ride again! Maybe we should just start digging till someone takes notice!
Oh haha, council worker, forgot to mention that...Who are these people exactly?
both, to lazy to fix it and the rougher it is the more fun it isDigging where?
Also does anyone know if dayboro as rutted and worn as it is because no one can ever do anything to fix it due to fines and stuff or is it just because it's fun like that?
